ATLAS T. JONES
- Meanest of Thieves; Stole all Chickens While Widow Was at Husband's Funeral: Lexington, One of the most contemptibly mean crimes ever committed in this county was the theft of about 100 chickens from Mrs. Atlas Jones one night last week. Mrs. Jones' husband died Monday morning and was buried late Tuesday afternoon, the burying place being too remote from her home to admit of her returning that night. When she returned early next morning every chicken she had on the place was gone, having been stolen while she was burying her husband. Until other precincts are heard from therefore we claim the meanest man in the State--American
